#2. 8×8 Gambrel Garden Shed Plans To Make The Side Walls

Fasten the top and bottom plates while they are laid out on the ground.

Make the upper boundary of the top 2×4 plate level with the upper boundary of the siding and let it hang about 2 inches over the bottom plate.

Once the wall is framed and the siding is secured, hoist it up and nail it into proper position.

Secure the frame from the outside by driving nails through the lower siding into the band boards.

Secure the frame from the inside by driving nails into the floor through the bottom plate.

Construct and install the other side wall in a similar manner.

The end walls will be built later.

#3. Gambrel Storage Shed Plans For Crafting The Roof Frame

Cut out rafters using 2×4 pine wood.

Create ten 36 inch long rafters that are cut at an angle of 20 degrees at one end and 22.5 degrees at other end.

Make ten more 36 inch long rafters that are cut at an angle of 22.5 degrees at both ends.

Lay out two top rafters that have a 20 degree angle on the ground and nail a gusset into both rafters where they join with each other, thus creating a truss.

The gusset should be approximately 8 inch wide and 16 inch long and made of half inch thick plywood.

Ensure that the peak of the truss is exactly at the center and that its bottom width is equal to the width of the shed.

Make four more trusses similarly by nailing together two 20 degree rafters and complete 5 trusses.

Later nail the 22.5 degree rafters to the lower ends of the 20 degree rafters to form the slope of the gambrel roof.

Once all rafters are built, set them on the walls and fasten them to the studs using nails.

#4. Gambrel Shed Blueprints For Creating the Shed Doors

Place the different pieces for creating the door face down on the floor.

Secure the door uprights to the base and stiles using ridged fasteners.

Put together the different components for the door and secure the corner blocks using nails.

Attach two 4 inch butt hinges to the jamb and door for each door.

Take care that the jamb runs across the top of the door an extra quarter of an inch to allow enough space for the doors to move freely once they are installed.

Place an entire sheet of siding on top of the door frame with its face down.

Level the lower boundary of the siding with the door bottom and cut as necessary to make it perfectly square.

Secure the siding to the door frame by driving nails into the door frame and door jamb.

Assemble the door pieces. Nail the corner blocks in place.

As the door frame is still laid out on the floor, trace a line using chalk on the back of the siding such that it runs parallel to the top of door and make another line running between the jamb and the frame.

Cut along the lines using a saw but don’t cut it out entirely so that the door does not swing out as you are hoisting it.

Once the door siding is attached into the end wall then you can cut out the remaining sections of the lines using the saw and then the door will open outwards.

Create the other door in a similar manner taking care that one door has a male lip while other has a female edge so that when the doors close they seal together tightly.
